"How can I become a better and more effective coach?" We hear this question often and there's evidently more than one answer. Today, let's explore one aspect of better coaching.
You need to identify one or two players on your team you think can develop into leaders. You see, mediocre coaches simply have a bunch of followers. Superior coaches take the time to develop leaders that in turn aid the coach in leading the team to a winning tradition.
In his book, "Developing the Leaders About You", John Maxwell says, "The greatest leadership principle that I have learned...is that those nearest to the leader wish determine the success level of that leader. ...the folk nearest to me 'make me or break me'. ...My goal is not to draw a following that results in a crowd. My goal is to develop leaders who become a movement."
Isn't that what you want as the coach of your team? A couple players that can help you create a "movement" of winning attitudes, winning activity ethics - a winning synergy.
Think simply about this for a minute. How far do you think Phil Jackson would-be have gone without the leadership roles filled by Archangel
Jordan, Scotch terrier Pippen, Shaq and Kobe? How simply about how the leadership of the "Triplets" helped Jimmy Johnson with the City Cowboys?
How more do you think Brian Billick appreciated the leadership of Ray Lewis in 2000 once
the City Ravens won it all? Do you think Gregg Popovich would-be be as booming without Tim Dancer & Manu Ginobili providing further leadership roles?
By empowering one or two of your players to stand up and become leaders, you create a powerful extension of yourself. Now, these leaders free you up in certain situations wherever
leadership is needed.
If several players are "doggin' it", sometimes a "push" from a "player leader" is more effective than once
it comes from you. There are several cases wherever
only your leadership can do the difference. But there are others wherever
the leaders you develop can step in and provide the needful words or action.
The end result of encompassing yourself with a couple of quality leaders is it does you a more effective coach and leader. Which is exactly what you're looking for, isn't it?
